Currency

Currencies are used to buy goods and services from vendors and other players. The lower bar of the inventory panel displays two types of currency: coin and one other type that varies based on the location of the player.

The wallet is a section in the inventory that tracks currency for each account. It can be opened by clicking on the wallet icon in the lower-left corner of the inventory window. The wallet is shared by all characters on the account: currency earned by any character is automatically deposited into the wallet; currency spent by any character is automatically withdrawn from it.

Aetherium — This material is automatically gained over time. The rate depends on Guild Mine upgrades.

Favor — Used to research guild upgrades and purchase items. Earned when players representing a guild participate in guild missions. A guild's accumulated favor can be seen via the guild panel.

Influence — Was once used to research guild upgrades and boons; it used to be earned when players representing a guild participated in events, PvP, and the personal story. A guild's accumulated influence can be seen via the guild panel.

Currencies and other tokens can be indirectly converted to coin by using them to purchase items that can then be crafted, forged, or otherwise used to produce items that can be sold to vendors and/or on the trading post.

Glory was once used to unlock skins for use in Structured PvP; it could only be obtained through participation in the Structured PvP game mode. With the rewards structure change in the April 2014 Feature Pack it was removed from the game.

The first interface for the account wallet, missing several currencies.

The wallet was introduced in the Queen's Jubileerelease on August 6, 2013. Following this update, all of a character's currencies were automatically deposited into the wallet the first time that character was logged in to the game. Each character had to be logged in separately to deposit any currency held by that character. Currencies in the account vault were automatically deposited after the first login on that account.[1]

When first logging in after the wallet was released, each pre-existing character received the following mail:

Enjoy your new wallet!

Your new wallet will automatically collect all coins, tokens, and other various currencies from a character's inventory when you log in with that character. The collected currency will all go into one account-wide pool. You can access your currencies through a tab in the Hero Panel or your inventory. All future currency items will automatically be added to the account-wide pool.
